Icons of Battersea

The face of Battersea is soon to be changed forever with the demolition of Battersea Power Station’s chimneys to be replaced with replicas as part of its redevelopment into a brand new neighbourhood and shopping destination. The future promises a 6-acre public park to explore as well as hundreds of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, creating a villagey feel in the area. An iconic site of a different sort is Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Since 1860, this charity has been rescuing, reuniting, rehabilitating and rehoming abandoned dogs and cats. Whether you’re planning to rehome an animal or not, they welcome visitors to check out the café and gift shop, and find out more about the home and its history. Find cheap and luxury hotels near Battersea Power Station and you’ll also be a stone’s throw from great transport links at Battersea Station and the serenity of Battersea Park.
